Research direction
Inspect stl/inc/xlocale around lines 664-670 and compare codecvt_base::result with the locale.codecvt requirement in WG21-N4835. This work depends on the vNext branch because it breaks binary compatibility; done means the result type conforms to the cited enum specification there.
